What does your typical day look like?
I start my day with gym at 6:30 followed by spa for sometime. A typical day keeps me absorbed with office and out meetings apart from media interactions. Evenings are spent with the family unless there is an event or a party to attend.
How old were you when you started your own business? Your family background?
Coming from a business family, I was 22 when I launched myself into business. I charted a new course by getting into consultancy, contrary my family run Hotel & Restaurant business.
What is that one thing in you that made you a successful business person?
Remaining focused besides blessings of the almighty as I am a very religious person.
How important it’s for a business person like you to be updated with financial news?
Oh!!! It’s as important as breakfast, lunch & dinner. You miss and you starve yourself.
How much you read and what?
I can never fill up my appetite of reading. More the better. Reading involves online and offline material. It could be anything from financial journals, to current affairs, to blogs, to economic reviews, to articles on various issues. However, most of the reading gets interleaved in my busy schedule.
When you look at today’s time do you ever wish to be grown and raised now? If yes/no why?
I’m quite happy being grown up when I was as I do feel some of the values are getting eroded in the present times I was fortunate to have imbibed those at the time when I grew up.
What are the business persons you admire most from India and why?
I really admire Ratan Tata for his undying business spirit, Kumar Mangalam Birla for his vision, Mukesh Ambani for his business acumen, Mark Zuckerberg for his creativity, Steve Jobs for his innovation and many more.
What you would suggest to a young entrepreneur who have just started or want his/her own business
The magic formula for a successful startup is a combo of these four:
Patience, Perseverance, Endurance and of course, Money
